​Former US Secretary of State was nearly hit by a shoe during a speech in Las Vegas Thursday, dodging the object at the last second as an usher escorted a young woman from the audience.

Clinton had only been on the stage at an Institute of Scrap
Recycling Industries meeting near the Mandalay Bay hotel and
casino for moments when an object flew toward her from the crowd.
Clinton, also a former New York State senator and First Lady,
stepped out of its path and joked, “good thing she didn’t play
softball like I did,” as quoted by the Associated Press.

The young woman was not identified, although security personnel
at Mandalay Bay told reporters the police had been called and she
would likely be arrested.

Considered likely to run as the Democratic candidate for
president in 2016, Clinton is touring the country and delivering
a series of speeches while at work on a book about her time in
the State Department, a term that stretched across the first four
years of the Obama administration. She appeared at the Las Vegas
conference alongside Steve Wozniak, an Apple co-founder.
